Being a twin mom can be amazing and magical (that twin bond is unlike anything we've ever witnessed!), but it can also be isolating and overwhelming. Your host, Jess Sittig (a twin mama herself!), will be chatting with other twin moms, diving deep into the twin experience, giving advice on what works for them so you don’t have to learn the hard way. Juggling two babies at the same time is challenging, but we're confident we can learn from each other and figure out how to raise these babies together!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-16T20:17:01.897557+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/twin-mom-life-7647342"},"episode":{"title":"Holidays in the Hospital, Advocating for Your Babies in the NICU and Adjusting After the NICU","slug":"holidays-in-the-hospital-advocating-for-your-babies-in-the-nicu-and-adjusting-after-the-nicu","published_at":"2026-06-18T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/twin-mom-life-7647342/holidays-in-the-hospital-advocating-for-your-babies-in-the-nicu-and-adjusting-after-the-nicu","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/twin-mom-life-7647342","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/213f11a9991de215798b76080c145fb6e028b8cda24afa72ebad82fdaeb2deb6/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIyZGU3Zjk2Ny01OGQ1LTRhY2QtYWRkNi0yMTc3YWM0N2E1MzgiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJlZTYyNjcyZi01OWFjLTRhMDItOGYxMy00MjcyNmZmZTUxMDgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTM2NTJiODllZjVhNzg3N2IxOTEwMWIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEzMzY5MDE4ZmUxODE5ZWY4OGVmOTNlL3RyYWlsZXItdG1sLXBvZGNhc3QtY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi02LTE4X181LTQxLTUzLm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/213f11a9991de215798b76080c145fb6e028b8cda24afa72ebad82fdaeb2deb6/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiIyZGU3Zjk2Ny01OGQ1LTRhY2QtYWRkNi0yMTc3YWM0N2E1MzgiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiJlZTYyNjcyZi01OWFjLTRhMDItOGYxMy00MjcyNmZmZTUxMDgiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2OTM2NTJiODllZjVhNzg3N2IxOTEwMWIiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmEzMzY5MDE4ZmUxODE5ZWY4OGVmOTNlL3RyYWlsZXItdG1sLXBvZGNhc3QtY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi02LTE4X181LTQxLTUzLm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"#23: Join Jess for an inspiring conversation with twin mom Stephanie as she shares her journey through pregnancy, hospital stay at 29 weeks, NICU experience, and twin motherhood.
